"Freedom Magazine is looking for experienced investigative reporters for short and long-range freelance assignments. Freedom, published by the Church of Scientology since 1968, covers human rights and social betterment issues and does investigative reporting in the public interest. Current assignments are based in Los Angeles, New York and Southeastern Texas.

This also isn't the first time the Church has hired reporters to go after individuals, according to the newspaper:

"In 2009, the St. Petersburg Times hit Scientology with the most powerful expose in years. Its authors, Joe Childs and Thomas C. Tobin, then found themselves the target of Freedom Magazine, which specifically hired reporters, one a Pulitzer Prize winner, to go after the St. Pete Times duo. The newspaper decided not to cooperate with the hired guns."
